Advantages of Plastic Toys
When plastic is used to create children's toys, it brings a number of benefits that no other single material can offer. Some of these include:

Weight
Plastic can be very lightweight, particularly when injection molding is used to create a toy, meaning toys are easier for youngsters to enjoy more easily.

Easy Cleaning
Impervious to many chemicals and other substances, plastic toys may resist marks and stains, and can generally be easily cleaned as needed.

Safety
While plastic has gotten a bit of a bad reputation for safety, due primarily to plastics containing bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates, safe plastic toys can be made with many formulations which do not contain these compounds. In addition, many plastics can include antibacterial and antimicrobial additives to enhance safety. Finally, most plastics do not easily conduct heat or electricity, adding to their safety features.

Strength & Impact Resistance
Toys are generally designed to take a beating, and plastic can be one of the most resilient materials for them. Its high strength in comparison to its weight, and its flexibility give it the ability to withstand extensive play.

Durability
Because most plastics are generally able to tolerate a wide variety of exposures to varying temperatures, moisture and chemical contact, and other hazards, they make for long-lasting toys.

Customizability
A nearly infinite variety of colors, textures, and finishes can be produced in many plastics, allowing for tremendous freedom of design and functionality.
